Requests are filed at land titles for two basic reasons:
• They can be used to cause the issuance of a new certificate of title in circumstances where there has been no change in the legal ownership of the land. This would include requests to change an owner’s name (i.e. by marriage), requests to correct names and survivorship requests.
• They can be used to request Land Titles to perform some function. This could include a request to issue a thirty day notice, to remove an encumbrance from title, to issue a refund, etc.
The Request/Transmission (Form 15.1) is to be used for all requests.
All requests may be signed by either the applicant or by their solicitor and agent. The lawyer must indicate that they are the solicitor and agent for the appropriate party. Ensure that the appropriate evidence accompanies the request.
